Osborne Clarke set to launch new office in SF

March 25, 2014Osborne Clarke is set to launch a new office in San Francisco. The office will be located in the SoMa neighbourhood, allowing the firm to establish closer ties with the tech community, and adding to its existing offering in Palo Alto, which was opening in 2001.

Steve Wilson, Partner and Osborne Clarke’s Head of Silicon Valley and SoMa offices said: “The launch of our SoMa office reflects the firm’s sustained commitment to the US market as well as the growth we’ve seen within the tech sector in San Francisco.

“The emergence of the SoMa market means we now have two distinct markets to support, one in Silicon Valley and now in San Francisco. The new office allows us to add greater value to our ever expanding client base.

“We have a unique model with our UK and European lawyers permanently based in Palo Alto and San Francisco. We provide real time European advice within the Pacific time-zone and give our clients access to specialized advisors across the wider firm.”
